A free short course “Emergency Risk Communication in Disaster and Humanitarian Crisis” (4 Nov–2 Dec, 2017) organized by Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care (JCSPHPC), and Collaborating Centre for Oxford University and CUHK for Disaster and Medical Humanitarian Response (CCOUC) of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is now open for application.

The need to communicate risks as accurate as possible in a timely manner arises as much from public expectation as professional need.  This free course offers to those interested in disaster medicine a theoretical yet practical framework of effective advocacy and emergency risk communication in an evolving media landscape. Cases ranging from outbreaks to natural disasters in humanitarian settings will be thoroughly discussed throughout the course.
